More importantly it's straight. The league will catch on soon.

So far he's at 12.54 K's per 9 innings. You don't do that throwing straight fastballs down the middle, even at 95-96.

There's nothing wrong with this guy's fastball.

What I don't get is how a pitcher with an arm like this could be so bad for Colorado. Rogers said that when he got here Manny said "You're my long man" and having a defined role allowed him to relax and pitch better.

Except he's not the long man. I think he's at 9.1 innings in 7 appearances. But whatever he's doing, it's working now.
